Synopsis

Set against a backdrop of changing world events between 1948 and 1973, a fiesty Southern widow and her proud but soft-spoken black chauffeur journey from suspicion and mistrust to respect and deep-rooted affection.

Notes:

Driving Miss Daisy premiered off-Broadway in 1987. The 2010 Broadway production was considered a revival for the purposes of Tony nominations.
